INTRO: Moving to Australia's East Coast from Perth makes 14-year-old Lockie an outsider and a city boy--an identity worsened by the fact that his father is a cop and the family lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Still, between smart-mouthing in school, thrashing the waves on his surfboard and having the popular Vicki Streeton as a girlfriend, Lockie soon establishes his place in town. He is also faced with other, more universal concerns, such as the depletion of the ozone, nuclear weapons and world peace. Lockie's successes with the business of life have the solid ring of truth.
